Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pachinko island base capable of efficiently discharging the pachinko balls discharged from a counting device into the pachinko island base and designing the island width size of the pachinko island base small. SOLUTION: Count discharge ports 85 corresponding to pachinko machines arranged back to back are formed at positions so as not to face each other along an out ball recovering trough. Even when pachinko balls are vigorously discharged from the count discharge ports 85, the discharge of the pachinko balls from the opposite count discharge ports 85 is not impaired, and the pachinko balls can be efficiently discharged onto the out ball recovering trough 17. Since the pachinko balls discharged from the count discharge ports 85 do not collide with each other, the occurrence of noise by collision and the damage and breakage of the out ball recovering trough 17 caused by the concentrated drop at one position of the pachinko balls can be prevented. A structure for weakening the force of the discharge of the pachinko balls is not required, and the island width size of the pachinko island base can be formed small.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a plurality of pachinko machines are arranged in a line, and a counting device for counting the obtained prize balls is provided for each of the pachinko machines, and is counted and counted by the counting device. The present invention relates to a pachinko island stand having a built-in out-ball collecting gutter for collectively collecting pachinko balls discharged from an outlet and pachinko balls used in the pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a carry-less system (individually returning pachinko balls directly to a pachinko island stand via a counting device installed for each pachinko machine without transporting pachinko balls obtained by a player to a prize clearinghouse. The number of pachinko halls that introduce JC) is increasing year by year. In this carry-less pachinko island, the pachinko balls returned from the pachinko machine are discharged from the counting discharge port of the counting device toward the out ball collecting gutter for collecting the out balls, and this pachinko machine is used. The counting outlet from which the ball is discharged is
They were formed facing each other, corresponding to the pachinko machines facing away from each other.

On the other hand, it is desirable that the island width of the pachinko island stand is designed to be as small as possible, not limited to the pachinko island stand of the carry-less system. This is because the number of pachinko islands installed in the pachinko hall can be increased by reducing the island width, and even if the number of pachinko islands is not increased, This is because the passage can be widened and a comfortable pachinko hall can be provided to the player. For this reason,
The width of the pachinko island stand tends to be designed as small as possible.

[0004]

However, in the pachinko island stand of the carry-less system, if the ball separation from the counting device is to be improved, the momentum of the pachinko balls from the counting discharge port becomes strong. In the case where the island width is reduced, the interval between the counting discharge ports facing each other becomes narrow, and the pachinko ball discharged from one counting discharge port has a face-to-face relationship with the pachinko ball from the other counting discharge port. Pachinko balls will not be efficiently discharged to the out ball collection gutter, for example, if they are prevented from being discharged.On the contrary, if the emphasis is placed on the efficiency of pachinko ball discharge to the out ball collection gutter, the momentum of pachinko balls from the counting discharge port will be reduced. Therefore, there is a problem in that the ball handling from the counting device is deteriorated, which causes frustration and dissatisfaction of the player. In order to solve both the problem of the pachinko ball discharge efficiency and the ball separation from the counting device, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-179917, the momentum of the pachinko ball from the counting device is measured by using a pachinko island stand. After the pachinko balls are weakened inside, the pachinko balls are discharged to an out ball collection gutter, or as disclosed in JP-A-11-9892, the pachinko balls from the counting device are temporarily stored in the pachinko island stand and then out. A method of discharging to a ball collection gutter can be considered. However, a relatively large space is required in the pachinko island stand (between the counting device and the out ball collection gutter) to construct a structure for reducing the momentum of the pachinko balls and a space for storing the pachinko balls as described above. Therefore, it becomes impossible to reduce the island width dimension of the pachinko island stand. If, in order to reduce the width of the island of Pachinko Island, if the structure to reduce the momentum of the pachinko balls or the space for storing the pachinko balls is formed small, the momentum of the pachinko balls from the counting outlet may be reduced. It cannot be performed, or the storage amount of the pachinko balls is reduced, that is, the space for storing the pachinko balls is quickly filled up, and the ball handling from the counting device is deteriorated. Cannot be eliminated.

Also, in a pachinko machine that faces backwards, the corresponding counting outlets face each other, so that a large amount of pachinko balls are returned to the pachinko island at a time (immediately before the pachinko hall is closed, etc.). If the pachinko balls are discharged simultaneously from the counting outlets, the pachinko balls collide with each other to generate noise, and the collision causes the pachinko balls to concentrate on one place and fall onto the out ball collection gutter. There was also a problem that the out ball collection gutter was damaged or damaged. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to efficiently discharge pachinko balls discharged from the counting device into the pachinko island stand,
It is another object of the present invention to provide a pachinko island that can be designed to have a small island size.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of pachinko machines are arranged in a back-to-back arrangement, and a counting device for counting acquired prize balls. A pachinko ball is installed corresponding to each of the pachinko machines, and an out-ball collecting gutter for collecting the pachinko balls counted by the counting device and discharged from the counting discharge port and the pachinko balls used in the pachinko machine is incorporated. In the pachinko island stand, the counting discharge ports corresponding to the back-facing pachinko machines are formed at positions where they do not face each other and face the out ball collection gutter. With this configuration, even if the pachinko balls are vigorously discharged from the counting discharge port, the pachinko balls are not hindered from being discharged from the facing counting discharge port. Can be discharged. In addition, since the collision of the pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port does not occur, it is possible to prevent the generation of noise due to the collision and the damage and breakage of the out ball collecting gutter due to the concentrated drop of the pachinko balls at one place. Further, since a structure for reducing the momentum of discharging the pachinko balls is not required, the island width of the pachinko island can be reduced.

Further, in the invention according to claim 2,
A receiving portion for receiving pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port is formed at a position facing the counting discharge port. With this configuration, since the momentum of the pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port is once weakened at the receiving portion, the pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port are not hindered from flowing down the pachinko balls on the out ball collection gutter. Can be discharged onto the out ball collection gutter. Further, since the pachinko balls are not directly discharged from the counting discharge port onto the out ball collecting gutter, damage and breakage of the out ball collecting gutter can be prevented. Furthermore, since the receiving portion as a structure for weakening the discharge of pachinko balls is formed at a position facing the counting discharge port, the space above the out ball collection gutter, that is, the pachinko balls exceed the out ball collection gutter. By utilizing the space, the receiving portion can be formed as small as possible. That is, the effective use of the space in the pachinko island stand makes it possible to reduce the island width of the pachinko island stand.

Further, in the invention according to claim 3,
A plurality of pachinko machines are lined up, and a counting device for counting the obtained prize balls is installed corresponding to each of the pachinko machines, and the pachinko balls counted by the counting device and discharged from the counting discharge port and the pachinko balls. In the pachinko island stand having a built-in out ball collecting gutter for collectively collecting the pachinko balls used in the machine, at a position facing the counting discharge port, a catch for receiving the pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port is provided. Wherein a portion is formed. With this configuration, since the momentum of the pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port is once weakened at the receiving portion, the pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port are not hindered from flowing down the pachinko balls on the out ball collection gutter. Can be discharged onto the out ball collection gutter. Further, since the pachinko balls are not directly discharged from the counting discharge port onto the out ball collecting gutter, damage and breakage of the out ball collecting gutter can be prevented. Furthermore, since the receiving portion as a structure for weakening the discharge of pachinko balls is formed at a position facing the counting discharge port, the space above the out ball collection gutter, that is, the pachinko balls exceed the out ball collection gutter. By utilizing the space, the receiving portion can be formed as small as possible. That is, the effective use of the space in the pachinko island stand makes it possible to reduce the island width of the pachinko island stand.

Further, in the invention according to claim 4,
In the receiving portion, the falling direction of the pachinko balls discharged from the facing counting discharge port, received by the receiving portion, and discharged onto the out ball collecting gutter, flows down the pachinko ball flowing down on the out ball collecting gutter. The present invention is characterized in that a current changing mechanism for changing the direction to substantially the same direction is provided. With this configuration, the pachinko balls received by the receiving portion are discharged onto the out-ball collecting gutter in substantially the same direction as the downflow of the pachinko balls on the out-ball collecting gutter. The pachinko balls discharged from the counting discharge port can be discharged onto the out ball collection gutter without obstructing the flow of the ball.

Further, in the invention according to claim 5,
An impact absorbing material for absorbing an impact from the pachinko ball discharged from the facing counting discharge port is attached to the receiving portion. With this configuration, the impact of the pachinko balls falling into the receiving portion is absorbed by the shock absorbing material, so that damage, breakage and noise of the receiving portion itself can be prevented.

Further, in the invention according to claim 6,
The counting discharge port includes a discharge angle adjusting mechanism for adjusting a discharge angle of the pachinko ball discharged from the counting discharge port. With this configuration, the pachinko ball drop position can be changed by adjusting the discharge angle of the pachinko ball discharged from the counting discharge port, so that the pachinko ball can be dropped to an optimal position.
